In addition to frequency and voltage, some devices may have bandwidth
requirements for their interconnect throughput - for example a CPU
or GPU may also need to increase or decrease their bandwidth to DDR
memory based on the current operating performance point.
Extend the OPP tables with additional property to describe the bandwidth
needs of a device. The average and peak bandwidth values depend on the
hardware and its properties.
